The UK's Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP) announced this month that it has expanded its business development service to help small-medium (SME) recycling businesses across England to draw on local expertise through regionally placed business advisors.

SMEs in the recycling or reprocessing industry can receive free support and advice from WRAP "at any stage of their business development", says the non-profit organisation.

Marcus Gover, director of market development at WRAP said: “Equipping the UK’s recycling businesses with the skills they need to become sustainable businesses is critical to developing our excellent domestic recycling industry, in the face of many global challenges."

Support will range from raising finance, market information, access to funding for equipment, opportunities for staff training through to marketing and business planning.
